    About Breaking Him (Erotic Interrogations) by Erika Foxx

    $0.99 PROMOTIONAL SALE PRICE through May 2014! Buy your copy today!

    She is a young and cripplingly beautiful FBI agent, and her reputation for extracting valuable intel from the most hardened criminals is growing. He is the leader of a Texas biker gang, and his attempt at moving into bigger things with an east-coast arms dealer has landed him in FBI custody. In Breaking Him, author Erika Foxx pens an erotic thriller full of intrigue and sexual tension.

    Special Agent Meredith Hardin…

    Crafty, intuitive and devastatingly intelligent, she has an ethical code different from most, and will do whatever she needs to do to get the job done. Even if it means that she has to take some calculated risks.

    …and gang kingpin Manolo Matalon…

    Muscular, ruggedly handsome, and the powerful leader of his Las Garras gang, his decision to expand into gun running with another powerful gang has put him in custody with the FBI. His cold and ruthless history of crime testifies to his resolve, and he is determined to reveal nothing.

    …alone in an interrogation room at Quantico

    For Special Agent Hardin and Matalon, their time alone in Room 2 takes a turn that neither of them ever expected. Their resolves clash, and she decides to try a new interrogation technique. If it works she just might get the intel she wants…and what her body desires. And if it doesn’t, she’ll at least get what she desires.
    —————————————
    “I’m going to do something I don’t usually do for scumbags like you,” Meredith said. She uncrossed her arms and took off her navy blue jacket. She used a tissue to wipe the spit from her jacket. Her breasts strained against the smooth blouse, and she turned so he could see her bra through the gaps between the buttons.
    She hung her jacket on the back of her chair, and then walked behind him and whispered something in his ear, and she smiled. In the other room, Frick and Frack looked at each other and shrugged, again.

    “You’re going to tell me everything, Mano,” she whispered, letting her lips brush his earlobe. She walked over to the two-way mirror and closed the blinds, and then walked over to the control panel near the desk in the corner.

    “I’m turning off the microphones and video, boys,” she said into the video camera. “Please do not interrupt me. I have protection, so no worries.” She patted her shoulder holster for them to see, and for Matalón to see, too. She switched off the microphones. Then she flipped another switch, and Matalón saw the little red light on the video camera shut off. Then she walked over to the door and locked it.”

  2. One is Come by C. H. MacLean

    One_Is_Come_coverart_LgAbout One is Come by C. H. MacLean:

    Fourteen-year-old Haylwen Rightad doesn’t think “crazy” runs in her family, but she might be wrong. Fish seem to listen when she talks. She finds herself wearing jewelry she can’t remember putting on. And then there was the explosion at school…and her ex-principal trying to kidnap her…and her brother? Don’t even ask. All she wants is to be an ordinary teenager. Live a normal life. Go to school, make friends, and not have to move a zillion times. Oh, and getting the bullies off her back? That’d be nice, too.

    What Haylwen doesn’t know is WHY all this crazy stuff is happening to her. But she’s about to find out. The bad news? Things aren’t going to be “normal” any time soon!

    Haylwen has no idea that magic is real or that her parents were once powerful magic users. She doesn’t know that her parents keep moving the family around to keep her and her brother from being taken from the powerful secret government of magic users. She doesn’t realize that the items she keeps “finding” are powerful magical items that she is being gifted. Not even her parents know why Haylwen is suddenly getting all this attention and who is giving her these powerful items, or why.

    It is a dangerous time for humans, with the dragon clans emerging in response to The One of prophecy, and the King of magic users manipulating events. Haylwen must learn about her powers if she wants to save herself and the rest of the world.

    With a mysterious prophecy, magical secrets and more than a few dragons, ONE IS COME is the first book in the adventures of siblings Haylwen and Cadarn as they come to discover they have powers they never dreamt of — and a destiny only they can fulfill.

    Author Bio:
    To young C. H. MacLean, books were everything: mind-food, friends, and fun. They gave the shy middle child’s life color and energy. Amazingly, not everyone saw them that way. Seeing a laundry hamper full of books approach her, the librarian scolded C. H. for trying to check them all out. “You’ll never read that many before they expire!” C. H. was surprised, having shown great restraint only by keeping a list of books to check out next time. Thoroughly abashed, C. H. waited three whole days after finishing that lot before going back for more.

    With an internal world more vivid than the real one, C. H. was chastised for reading in the library instead of going to class. “Neurotic, needs medical help,” the teacher diagnosed. C. H.’s father, a psychologist, just laughed when he heard. “She’s just upset because those books are more challenging than her class.” C. H. realized making up stories was just as fun as reading, and harder to get caught doing. So for a while, C. H. crafted stories and characters out of wisps and trinkets, with every toy growing an elaborate personality.

    But toys were not mature, and stories weren’t respectable for a family of doctors. So C. H. grew up and learned to read serious books and study hard, shelving foolish fantasies for serious work.

    Years passed in a black and white blur. Then, unpredictably falling in love all the way to a magical marriage rattled C. H.’s orderly world. A crazy idea slipped in a resulting crack and wouldn’t leave. “Write the book you want to read,” it said. “Write? As in, a fantasy novel? But I’m not creative,” C. H. protested. The idea, and C. H.’s spouse, rolled their eyes.

    So one day, C. H. started writing. Just to try it, not that it would go anywhere. Big mistake. Decades of pent-up passion started pouring out, making a mess of an orderly life. It only got worse. Soon, stories popped up everywhere- in dreams, while exercising, or out of spite, in the middle of a work meeting. “But it’s not important work,” C. H. pleaded weakly. “They are not food, or friends, or…” But it was too late. C. H. had re-discovered that, like books, life should be fun too. Now, writing is a compulsion, and a calling.

    C. H. lives in a Pacific Northwest forest with five cats, two kids, one spouse, and absolutely no dragons or elves, faeries, or demons… that are willing to be named, at least.

    **Overcome Reality. Invigorate Dreams.**

  5. Love In Touch

    LoveInTouch_LucyMayLennoxAbout Love In Touch:

    Have you ever wondered what the world is like for someone who can neither see nor hear? Lucy May Lennox ushers you into the life of a young man who was born both blind and deaf. For most of us it is difficult to imagine how we would function or how our life would work if we lost two of our senses. In this novel, the reader can learn about this fascinating world while also experiencing a beautiful story of love that transcends all boundaries.

    “A heartwarming and beautiful story, and a glimpse into a world most wouldn’t consider even imagining.” -Gail R. Delaney, author of Precious Things

    Kassie has felt adrift ever since her dad died when she was in college. Now 24 and living in Seattle, she gets interested in learning sign language through her roommate, a sign language interpreter. One day at a Deaf community event, she sees a young man sitting off by himself. Kassie feels compelled to try signing to him–the fact that he’s strikingly handsome doesn’t hurt.

    Jake has been deaf and blind since birth. His disability has cut him off from the world, but beneath his isolated exterior, is a smart, sweet guy with a dry sense of humor. Despite the odds, he’s highly educated, but at 26, he’s gotten stuck in a rut, with few friends and no clear career plans. Until a sweet-smelling girl introduces herself to him unexpectedly, and opens up a whole new world to him.

    Jake is more intelligent, more genuine than anyone she has met before, and for the first time Kassie starts to feel like her life has some direction. But as their friendship deepens into something more, the difficulty in communicating with each other only grows, and it seems like everyone they know thinks their relationship won’t work. How can they come to a deeper understanding of each other, and a find a future together?

    About Lost: One Pair of Rose Colored Glasses by Shay Ray Stevens

    Emily Swanson has finally married her knight in shining armor, but there’s just one problem: she seems to have lost her pair of rose colored glasses.

    Can Emily survive the first year of marriage without them? How can she endure the (mis)communication of hint language or the in-laws who forget to knock? Is it possible to still love a man who can’t follow a shopping list? And how in the world did she end up with someone who won’t cut down a Christmas tree?

    Emily struggles to stay lovely and sweet while dealing with a late honeymoon, her husband’s new puppy, and the newfound paranoia that everything makes her look fat. But with tricks from Mother and the Cult of Married Women (along with a whole lot of sass), Emily soon learns how to keep her sanity and carry on.

    Kick off your heels, grab a glass of wine, and laugh along as Emily Swanson discovers the realities of life together in marriage that are quickly revealed when the rose colored glasses come off.
